Ursinus College Food Forest

The Ursinus College Food Forest, the first of its kind in Montgomery County, received the 2025 Environmental Stewardship Award. This exceptional and innovative project serves as a pioneering model of environmental restoration that combines hands-on education and community engagement. Nestled on a preserved agricultural easement in Trappe Borough, the forest spans 1.75 acres and stretches 640 feet along a tributary of the Perkiomen Creek. The project expanded an existing narrow riparian corridor onto previously farmed lands, creating a multifunctional edible landscape that nourishes both people and ecosystems. Through continued student involvement, cultural connections, and ecological stewardship, the food forest stands as a beacon of hope, resilience, and collaboration for Montgomery County and beyond.
